You're Invited to a Stone Soup Dinner! 🍲✨

Join us for an evening of warmth, community, and a delicious shared meal! Inspired by the classic folktale (https://youtu.be/PZdhZdmvsuk?si=hOIdNDoUe8TgaH9-), we’re coming together to create a wonderful pot of Stone Soup—a dish made special by everyone’s contributions.

📅 Date: Thursday, March 5, 2026
🕕 Time: 5 pm
📍 Location: SaMoNaz Church

How It Works:
We'll provide the stone and the broth—you bring an ingredient washed, cut, and ready to add to the pot! Vegetables, herbs, beans, grains—whatever inspires you to create a delicious vegetable soup. As we cook and share stories, we’ll create something truly special together.

Bring a container to take home leftovers, and let’s make a meal that’s greater than the sum of its parts.

RSVP by Sunday, February 8th to Patti Senior, so we can plan accordingly. We can't wait to share this experience with you!
